Orkidea - Unity BOOTLEG???

OK, I got the record today. I hate to post this, I feel like a total noob...but the discogs release
http://www.discogs.com/release/53445
says that it's 1 sided.

The record that I got is double-sided...

Is it a typo on the discogs part or are there bootlegs floating around?

oh boy

edit: i should probably note that the sleeve it came is is the exact same as the one pictured on discogs...

Onion! My old friend! How is life under the earth? Is it cold? Is it wet? Is it dark? Are the worms creepy crawly and nasty? Do Platipuses eat onions? I hope not! What a dreadful situation for you, if true!

The whitelabel version only has one side... with the original mix on it

The version that most people have has two sides...

oh and Radagast hi man : )

Thank God...
I was really worried I had gotten a bootleg. Especially buying stuff off ebay. In the auction, it said "1 sided vinyl". I guess the guy didn't even know what he had. Oh well, worked out well for me

Oh and ONION:
can you tell me what the 2 songs are on the LP?
Obviously the orignial on one, but wtf is the other?
Cheers!

The limited 500 copies Unity track by Orkidea is only on 1-sided White Label Promo.

You might have gotten either:

1) Original 1993 release of Dead Can Dance - Host of the Seraphim

2) Scarab, The vs. Inzite - Unity Of Earth 2002 (unlikely as there are 2 tracks on each side)

3) Bootleg'ed vinyl copy pressed in limited amounts

err...is this release full of misinformation???

on discogs it says 1000 copies
http://www.discogs.com/release/53445

WOW DOES THE PLOT THICKEN:

After becoming EXTREMELY angry at seeing that I have a vinyl with grooves on both sides I decide to play the other side to find out what exactly I've got here.

The other side, though grooved, is nothing but static/blank. Never in my life have I seen a record that was grooved but blank. Usually aren't they just left smooth and ungrooved?

Regardless, I feel a hell of a lot better now knowing I actually do have the original. Wow, what a dumbass I am. But what can I say, I've never seen a side with no track grooved before

I have never seen it anywhere as a vinyl single but it got out on Dead Can Dance - Serpeant's Egg 12"/LP back in 1988 and on several other DCD albums later on.

so you have the one-sided promo release that is 1,000 copies? or is it 500 copies?
